First off, I'm a big fan... and greatly appreciate your work. You get credit for convincing me to simply hodl and ignore the noise... and it has worked thus far. Thank you.
As for this vlog, I'm all on board with the message... helping to build and support nostr is an awesome way to keep the btc hope alive. With that said, I want to challenge you... maybe all of nostr... with a tldr post to help us all grow in the coming years.
"The entirety of western culture is corrupted and diseased... and I think, you know, we often talk about things dying, like things are in decay but... they may in fact actually be dead already." - HODL
Your quote above rings true for many of us on this platform. But I think we can agree that there is more to creating a better future than simply creating a better protocol/system. Part of the solution will be ignoring the old system when it comes begging for attention, and looking to co-opt what nostr has created.
An example of what I mean by this is that in 2028, I hope we don't see you and Erik Cason sitting down with Tulsi Gabbard again for an interview to discuss Washington DC corruption and why JD Vance would make a great president. If you're approached for another interview with her, I would like to see you both respond with middle fingers.
IOW, in order to move forward, we must leave the decayed, infested carcass behind, and instead celebrate and shine the light on the new path forward... nostr and a bitcoin standard. If we can assume that the old, dead fiat system will want a place at the new nostr table... then we need to prepare for it.
Anyway, I don't have all the answers, but I do feel that its important to have the discussions like this. And, if the ideological subversion of the US is complete... we need people brainstorming on all the solutions moving forward for the new path... wen creation of the first bitcoin think tank? You and Erik should be in it.
Thank you again for all you do for the bitcoin community!
Fun fact I was drunk and Eric was high during that tulsi interview lol ๐ we kind of stumbled our way into it. Trust me there was no planning or thought behind it on either of our parts lol
Bonus pts for that. I did like Erik's point to Tulsi , something like " I don't think we can vote our way out of this." lol
Anyway, at some point in the near future, fiat shiznitheads with $$$ will cozy up to people like you and want a seat at the table to "help build nostr, etc"... be wary.
Watched this and deleted twitter. Removed my twitter password from my password app.
Mentioned it to my wife and she said sheโd had a similar moment of realisation earlier today and deleted Facebook.
Synchronicity is wild.
Fuck twitter

Great one. Still waiting for the drone ๐

holy shit I am the difficulty adjustment
Loving it! felt super relatableโฆ only on Nostr this feels normal, everywhere else theyโd call it a breakdown ๐ซ๐ normie friends are checking on me and asking me these days if Iโm okay ๐
Great vlog this was! A timely message for a world that is at the cross roads between techno-feudalism and freedom. More will have the former chosen for them by their elected officials that they have anointed to be the saviours and they are going to wake up in a world where they are enslaved by algorithms and CBDC's. Those that have chosen freedom by adopting Nostr + BTC, will be the architects of the new renaissance. May we keep building freedom tools, and by extension a new world
Love it! In an alternative world, @HODL is still a fiat slave, but I'm lucky enough to be in this one. Also, will be awaiting when you have guests on your rant podcast in the middle of the desert. Just two bros (or a bro and broette) ranting about sensical (the opposite of nonsensical) things.
I should do guests lol
I think so as well. You'll need to ask someone (in a completely normal way) to come out to the desert with you in the early morning.
Giggidy.
You can just go up and down hills ZAP! Great Vlog yet. Thanks for your service @HODL
Hahaha love the vlog responses

"You are what you think about all day long." ๐ฅ
That outro ๐ซถ
OK that's a good one
These series are fun to watch. The intro ๐
This is my favorite, because the message is so tailored to bitcoiners on nostr.
Another good one. Just know that if I ever see you holding a fluffy lapel mic with an outstretched pinkyโฆ.youโre dead to me. ๐
Haha this is why I always clip the lav, for this exact reason

When you bring those words into the Nostr stream, itโs more than just a quote. It feels like a reminder that struggle has its own clock that tension builds, pressure rises, and only then does something shift. Darkness isnโt just absence; itโs the stage being cleared for light.
My reply is simple!
Thatโs when the builders donโt sleepโฆ theyโre already wiring the sunrise. ๐ค๏ธ

NOSTR has the potential to build a DIY internet in a โmetaโ way that disregards the old systems of politics. Just one layer to the Jeff Booth V4V fully free market economy that weโve never fully experienced. HODL as always with the big think. One day in history lessons they will speak of your V-LOGs and how they helped change the world
The danger in the dark hours is that it tricks you into believing it will last forever. Thatโs when rash decisions get made selling too soon, quitting on a dream, or losing faith in yourself.

Lean into the quiet: the dark is a time to reflect, strip things down, and prepare.

"Courage is way more rare than intelligence" @HODL
Always keep moving forward with a big vision and hold strong. One day, history books will talk about your posts and videos and how they helped inspire generations.
โBe very judicious about what you spend your time and attention onโ
Something on the importance of attention
The outro song is hilarious
YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ALL DAY LONG

My wife is having an overdose of bitcoin and Nostr so I am doing it outside my family circle.
My goodness that outro just killed me ๐คฃ
So good right? Haha I love the outro
love the outro song
Your becoming a religious zealot
And by that I mean I have not a fucking clue what that even means
But it sounds fun !
So on you go
The legacy system is doing a re-run of Weekend at Bernieโs?
